Don't know if this is the color you are talking about, but the interior on my truck has not been re-done since I owned it, I believe it is original.

My orange truck came with a red dash and steering wheel and the seat, seat belts, and sun visors are orange. I have not found anyone who reproduce orange parts.

I have never seen Orange interiors myself but after a long search found Orange and Black houndstooth covers. Tim Christian got mine for me. You might check with Tim and see if they are out there.
Something else to remember is that many interior items are 1) available in Black only and you dye to your color or 2) are advertised that Black is Black and all other colors are dyed at the factory. Door panels and dash pads come to mind. SEM makes some great colors. And you can be sure that if you dye the parts yourself, you have color and quality control. I have seen armrests from one company and door panels from another not match.

Just as further conf; the interior in my original orange truck looks about identical to the pictures posted (except mine is in pretty cumby shape by comparison).

Here´s a pic of a seat cover, it´s not my truck but I can ask the owner where he bought the seat cover if it is of interest to you, just let me know.

Orange vinyl (naugahyde actually) is available at any upholstery supply store. I did a full orange and white interior in my orange truck with it.
I wan never happy with dying the parts, so I wound up re-doing it again in orange vinyl and orange tweed. The tweed conforms to complex shapes like dash pads and arm rests without wrinkling like vinyl does.

GM used orange in Camaros(w/herringbone) and C.A.R.S.reproduces them.I believe they custom-make covers.At least,that was my impression when my upholstery guy ordered my saddle/herringbone bucket covers back in`91.If memory serves,GoldenState had them listed(at one time,at least).They`ve been through some changes,haven`t looked lately.I`ve definately seen an orange interior in these trucks(like factory),not original.
